Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Hannah makes learning fun and school an interesting place to be for the young minds she helps to mold everyday. With her creative approach, her students get excited and eager to come to school everyday. This sets a strong foundation for their academic future at an early age.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Hannah has always wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember. She set her goals young, never gave up, and never let anything get in her way. Perseverance got her a Masters degree, career she loves, and most recently she was awarded Teacher of the Year at Prospect Elementary in Orange, Ca and she's only 29 years old.
